Hey Spikes, I am truly sorry about the way you're feeling. I'll say that I understand.
Last year, after I was arrested to the hospital (police came to my apartment because some jerk called 911 on me 'cause they thought I was suicidal, cops took me in handcuffs to the hospital). When I got home I told myself and everyone I knew that no way would I go back to the effing hospital, regardless of any consequences. If I'm feeling like self-harming I have informed my psych team that I will not admit to how I feel because I refuse to return to any psych hospital.
I don't know where these mythical IP's are that have lovely activities all day and the staff and patients become your friends for life. I've never experienced IP like that. Maybe if one is wealthy and can pay for a Girl, Interrupted IP experience. So I'm with you on the hospital option.
To me, it sounds like you are well aware of the episode you're in right now, and you've reached out here on PC. That's a big step. I encourage you to give a couple of coping tools a try...breathing to ground yourself. Make yourself take a walk to force your attention to shift. Sounds funny, but drinking water over a period of several minutes helps to center my energy down. And keep coming on here to post - let us know how you're doing.
